Sleep apnea can happen to anyone though it is most commonly found in middle aged people. Being over weight can play a big role in whether or not you have apnea. It is dangerous because you stop breathing while you are sleeping. Most often doctors will tell you to wear a O2 mask at night and to try to lose weight. You feel tired during the day and waking up suddenly, loud snoring are often sympotoms. Though they should tell their doctors, especially if they are having surgury (Between the anastesia and the apena you might not recieve enough O2 after the surgury and will have trouble removing the anastesia from your system leaving you groggy and "crazy" My dad was like this for 4 months after a knee surgury( He has MANY other problems)
good luck

My daughter had sleep apnea when she was born. The nerve in her neck was not completely developed. She was on a monitor the first year of her life. She was tested once a month and a nurse came out once a week to check the monitor. I had to learn infant cpr just to take her home. It was a very long year.

Sleep apnea is defined as the cessation of breathing during sleep.
Apnea specialists generally agree that there are three different types of sleep apnea: obstructive, central, and mixed. Of these three, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common; central sleep apnoea is rare; mixed sleep apnea is a combination of the previous two with treatment being the same as OSA.
